A certified true copy is the copy of a document that is stamped and signed as a true copy of the original by a person who is allowed to take declarations. A certified copy is often used in English-speaking common law countries as a convenient way of providing a copy of documents. It is usually inexpensive to obtain. A certified copy may be required for official government or court purposes and for commercial purposes. It avoids the owner of important documents (especially identity documents) giving up possession of those documents which might mean a risk of their loss or damage.
The certified copy is signed by a person nominated by the person or agency asking for it. Typically, the person is referred to as an authorized person. The person who is authorized to sign the certificate will vary between countries. Sometimes a person is authorized by legislation to do so.
If the primary document has to be translated, an additional certificate is usually required. For example, a birth certificate in Russian is to be used in an English-speaking country. Typically, the document must be translated professionally and have the professional's certificate of accuracy attached to the translation together with a copy of the primary document. Then, the primary document, the translation, and the certificate of accuracy are photocopied in the form of a certified copy.
